  • House Training
    HOUSE TRAINING Teaching your dog or puppy to eliminate at the right time and in the right place is one of the most important first steps you can take for a long, happy life together. House training your dog or puppy requires patience, commitment, consistency and positive reinforcement. Accidents are part of the process, but the more consistent you are with house training procedures, the faster your dog or puppy will learn where and when to go. PREPARATION Having the following on hand before you begin house training will make the process go much smoother: • Crate (just large enough for your dog or puppy to lay down comfortably stretched out). o See Crate Training tip sheet for more information. • Schedule (that includes bathroom times, walks, feeding, etc...). • Designated bathroom spot outdoors. • Really yummy treats (i.e. tiny bits of chicken, steak, cheese, lunch meat, etc…). • Enzyme based cleaner specifically made for pet odors. SUPERVISION The first step to ensure house training is successful is to give her every opportunity to succeed by preventing accidents from happening in the first place. This is accomplished through supervision, and if you are unable to supervise, confinement. Supervising your dog or puppy allows you to recognize pre- elimination behaviors like sniffing, circling, pawing at the ground, squatting and restlessness, which helps prevent accidents. If you are unable to actively supervise your puppy or dog, you can confine her to her crate or tether her to you with a long leash. ROUTINE Establish a routine for your dog or puppy that includes set times for meals and bathroom breaks and also an area for elimination.

  • Housetraining, Read Our Housetraining Booklet (Available On-Line from and Download BEFORE You Get Your Puppy From
    Housesoiling is a spatial problem. Your HH© OO UU SS EE TT RR AA II NN II NN GG 2004 Ian Dunbar puppydog has been allowed to eliminate in the wrong place. Housesoiling quickly becomes a bad habit because dogs develop strong location, substrate, and olfactory preferences for their improvised indoor toilet areas. To housetrain your puppydog: first, prevent any more mistakes; and second, teach your puppydog where you would like him to eliminate. Prevent Mistakes Mistakes are a disaster since they set a bad precedent and create bad habits, which can be hard to break. Consequently, you must prevent mistakes at all cost. Whenever you are not at home, leave your dog in a long-term confinement area, such as a single room indoors with easy-to-clean floors (bathroom, kitchen, or utility room)—this will be your www.jamesandkenneth.com behavior blueprint puppydog’s playroom. Provide your dog with fresh water, a number of stuffed chewtoys for entertainment, a comfortable bed in one corner, and a doggy toilet in the corner diagonally opposite from his bed. Your dog will naturally want to eliminate as far as possible from his bed, and so will soon develop the good habit of using his toilet. And remember, good habits are just as hard to break as bad habits. For a doggy toilet, use sheets of newspaper sprinkled with soil, or a litter box filled with a roll of turf, or a concrete paving slab. Thus your dog will develop olfactory and substrate preferences for eliminating on soil, grass, or concrete. The purpose of long-term confinement is to confine your dog’s natural behaviors (including urinating and defecating) to an area that is protected (thus preventing any mistakes around the house when you are not there), and to help your dog quickly develop a strong preference for eliminating on soil, grass, or concrete.

  • Housetraining a Toy Breed Puppy Or
    Dog Training by PJ 5303 Louie Lane #19, Reno, Nevada 89511 www.dogtrainingybypj.com 775-828-0748 Reference Library Materials © 2008 Dog Training by PJ Tips to Housetrain Your Toy Breed Puppy or Dog What’s the best way to housetrain my toy breed puppy or dog? First – remember consistency when training your toy puppy or dog is a must. Oftentimes people claim housetraining a small dog is more difficult, but usually the reasons for not having success can be easily avoided. Since the dogs are small, often they can get away with potty “every where” because of the mere size of the dog and the relationship of the potty size. If it were a Great Dane, for example, supervision becomes a priority. As owners of the toy dog, we tend to carry them around. You need to allow your toy puppy or dog to walk. For many little dogs, housetraining problems start when they are “finally” put on the ground, then the owner leaves the house and the toy puppy is allowed to roam freely throughout the entire house. Even though you have a toy breed puppy or dog, you will still use “big dog” potty training techniques. However, you need to remember in the winter or when it is cold outdoors, the toy dog loses body heat faster. In colder weather you will need to make them more comfortable to go outdoors and remain long enough to potty; so try a jacket, sweater or coat. Now, taking the toy dog for a walk in the grass can be the equivalent of trying to housetrain them in a jungle.

  • Pilot Training – a Historic Perspective
    Running head: PILOT TRAINING DEVELOPMENT 1 Pilot Training Development: A Historic Perspective James R. Cannon Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University March 31, 2010 PILOT TRAINING DEVELOPMENT 2 Abstract Reaching back to the moment when man first imagined what it would be like to soar in the sky like a bird, the one salient fact of that futuristic dream was that a human being would have to somehow control the airborne event. Engineers and philosophers could ponder the mechanics of flight, but once enabled; how did one safely rise and descend, turn and bank, take off and land? The genius of the Wright brothers approach to solving the puzzle was repetitive glides. Hundreds upon thousands of glides helped Wilbur and Orville learn how to maneuver their oversized kites. Armed with that knowledge and the secret to “roll” control, they set out to make history. Early on, aviating was more “seat of the pants” than “state of the art”. With the advent of the Great War, flight training was initiated on both sides of the Siegfried line. Following the war, the glut of surplus aircraft and pilots became the ingredients for thrills and eminent disasters. Government regulation predictably followed a steady stream of accidents in order to protect public safety. As new aircraft designs unfolded, so did performance and speed. Pilots were faced with challenges that had not been imagined decades before. World War II spurned a renewed pilot training frenzy. Commercial airline growth was fostered by another post war surplus of trained pilots and equipment. Organized training centers were developed. Pilots found themselves engaged in a learning curve that seemed to have no end.

  • House-Training
    House-Training Bringing a new dog home will require some work on house-training! It is not uncommon for even well-established canines to have an accident or two when adjusting to a new home. Whether adopting a new puppy or an established, older dog, here are a few tips that should help you get started on the right paw! Keep an eye on your dog! When it comes to avoiding accidents, prevention is the best approach. Watch for signs that your dog may need to go out (circling, sniffing, or starting to squat) and be sure to get him or her outside quickly. If you catch the dog in the act, give a firm verbal correction (“no!”) to interrupt the behavior, and move your dog outside immediately. Reward your dog with treats and/or praise for using the bathroom outside. Consider crate-training or other containment during times when you cannot provide close supervision. Stick with a schedule! Dogs do well with a consistent routine and will be easier to house-break if they know when they’ll get to go outside. Take outside when s/he first gets up in the morning, after meal times, and promptly upon returning home. Feed at the same times each day. Reinforce good behavior! House-training requires practice and reinforcement! Make sure to always give your dog lots of praise and rewards any time s/he eliminates in an appropriate location. Keep a treat bag next to the door with your leash! If there’s an accident… Oops! You’ve missed the opportunity to train.

It presents three primary research questions which are addressed through qualitative methods of interview, observation, and discourse analysis. 1) In what ways does police training address report writing? 2) What audience awareness do police officers have when writing reports? 3) How do actual report audience members read and evaluate reports? The police academy in this study fails to spend the necessary time discussing report writing. This is not rectified by the in-house training program, which pairs officers with Field Training Officers that are often reluctant or unqualified to address report writing.

  • In-House Training Solutions for Everyone
    In-House Training Solutions for Everyone: The concept of the “European Academy for Gynaecological Surgery (EAGS)” In-House Training Solutions for Everyone: Principles of the GESEA programme Scientific evidence indicates that dry lab training for endoscopic surgical skills, prior to training in the operating room, improves patients' post-operative well-being substantially. The ESGE, EBCOG, EAGS, ENTOG, ACOG and AAGL, six leading professional organisations in gynaecology, joined forces in a global recommendation regarding endoscopic surgical training and quality assurance. It is a major breakthrough in the discipline of gynaecological endoscopic training to align the leading societies in training and education across Europe and the US on such an important matter. The Gynaecological Endoscopic Surgical Education and Assessment (GESEA) programme is a structured diploma programme for Gynaecological Endoscopy which takes into account this recommendation. It trains and certifies knowledge and practical skills prior to surgical competence, and it is the official diploma programme of the European Society for Gynaecological Endoscopy (ESGE). The most important aspect throughout this programme is the practise of both training and testing, leading to greater levels of competence and professionalism prior to entering the operating room. The GESEA programme makes use of three endoscopic training models that monitor the learning process and measure the skill level of an individual. LASTT provides a validated training approach for basic laparoscopic instrument handling skills like camera navigation, hand-eye coordination and bimanual coordination. SUTT focuses on laparoscopic suturing skills by offering a series of stitching and knotting exercises to train and test the quality level of needle handling, stitching, tissue approximation and knot tying.
